The ISBT Corporate Partner Educational webinar of Terumo BCT on " Exchanging experience and knowledge during COVID-19 pandemic " will be presented on Tuesday May 12, 2020 at 03:00 PM CEST by Michael Schmidt and Raymond Goodrich.

Aim of the webinar: The aim of the webinar is to provide a basic overview of methods to manage pandemics in the absence and presence of vaccines for disease. I will discuss the use of convalescent plasma in treating infectious diseases like COVID-19 in the absence of vaccine. In particular, there will be emphasis on the use of PRT methods to treat these products, providing data on performance and rationale for their use. In addition, I will review how the methods of PRT treatment are being put to practical use in the development of a new vaccine candidate for COVID-19.
